Default What do you think??

I didn't know where to post this as there is no where on this forum for shots taken with cell phones...I have decided to take on photography/cinematography as a profession and i am seriously considering purchasing a pro camera...my question is if you think the pictures taken with my cell are good enough....

There are Share Your Shot and Critique sections for posting photos in - no specification as to what type of camera.

You photos look pretty good, considering they were taken with a phone.

in my opinion, if your cell doesn't have a 16mm - 400mm f2.8 and an external flash....they aren't good enough. You might want to start out with a consumer camera kit with kit lenses first.

Both those are decent enough cameras. I was figuring the only photo experience was cell phone photography.

I have shot with a 7D for a friend...nothing too major...but the 7D is way over my price range (for now).

You have a very good eye, David. With an actual DSLR you should do great.
